Physician (Psychiatrist) - Program Manager - Psychiatric Assessment and Clinical Center (PACC)
for section headings, - for lists, and
for prose. I should not repeat the job title as a heading. I should fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. I must preserve all substantive information.
Let me structure this:
- About the role (or similar) - but the page already shows the title, so maybe "About the role" for the duties description
- Qualifications (with subsections? But the instruction says use
for section headings, not nested headings. I'll use for main sections and maybe for subsections? The instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't mention subheadings. I'll keep it flat with for each major section.
I'll create sections:
1. Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - from the summary
2. Qualifications - includes basic requirements, preferred experience, reference, physical requirements
3. Duties - the description of the role
4. Benefits - the total rewards package
5. Schedule - work schedule
But note: The instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". All these have content.
Also, "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state them.
I need to avoid duplicating lines. The text has some repetition: "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" and then "VHA Physician Total Rewards" and then list. I'll consolidate.
Let me parse the content carefully.
First part: "Summary Eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program. Must meet specific eligibility requirements per VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment. Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) & eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review of the EDRP application. Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply. Incentive Authorized"
This is about EDRP. I'll make a section "Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP)".

The duties section starts with "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" which is actually benefits. Then it lists incentives, pay, time off, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract. Then it describes the actual duties. Then work schedule.
I should separate benefits from duties. The heading "Duties" appears but then it lists benefits first. I'll create a "Benefits" section for the total rewards, and a "Duties" section for the role description. Also a "Schedule" section for work schedule.
The instruction says: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So I can have Benefits, Pay, Schedule as separate sections. But the posting groups them under "VHA Physician Total Rewards". I'll create a "Benefits" section that includes all those items. Pay is mentioned as "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". That's part of benefits. I'll include it in Benefits.
I'll structure:

Qualifications
To qualify for this position, you must meet the basic requirements as well as any additional requirements listed in the job announcement.

Currently employed VA physicians who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation.
Basic Requirements
? But instruction says only for section headings. It doesn't forbid but says "use for section headings". I'll use for main sections only. For subsections, I can use or just list items. I'll keep it as a list under Qualifications.
Better: Use for Qualifications, then use for basic requirements, then maybe a paragraph for preferred experience, reference, physical requirements.
But the basic requirements are many. I'll make a list.
Let me outline:
- Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP)
- Qualifications
- Basic Requirements (list)
- Preferred Experience
- Reference
- Physical Requirements
- Duties (or Responsibilities)
- Benefits
- Schedule
I'll use for each of these main sections. For sub-items, I'll use - or
.
Now, I need to output ONLY the HTML fragment, no markdown code fences.
Let me write the HTML.
