We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes many details: summary (vacancy open until filled, cutoff date) – that's metadata; we can drop or put in short p. Qualifications: includes basic requirements (citizenship, education, license, residency training, English proficiency, preferred experience). Also physical requirements. Duties: description of duties. Benefits: includes recruitment incentive (sign-on bonus), education debt reduction program, paid time off, paid parental leave, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract, work schedule. Pay: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". Schedule: "8:00 am to 4:30 pm Mon-Fri Light on-call responsibilities Options may be available for alternative tours."
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also avoid "Summary" as heading? The instruction: Use

We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also avoid "Summary" as heading? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Thus we can have sections: Qualifications, Responsibilities (or Duties), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Requirements? But Qualifications covers requirements. We'll include Qualifications, Responsibilities, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe "About the role" could be a short summary but we have summary info; but we can incorporate into a short p before sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Requirements? But we have Qualifications section already. We'll output:
This vacancy will remain open until filled. The first cut-off date is 09/03/2026. Additional applications will be referred as needed.
ThenQualifications
with content: list of basic requirements and preferred experience. Use- for list.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must include details like US Citizenship, Education (Doctor of Medicine or equivalent from VA-approved school), License (current full unrestricted), Residency training details (three options), English language proficiency, Preferred Experience (board eligibility/certification by ABPN or AOBNP, completion or anticipated completion of Addiction Psychiatry fellowship and/or board certification in Addiction Psychiatry, Buprenorphine treatment experience). Also Physical Requirements: list many items. Should we include physical requirements under Qualifications? Probably yes as part of qualifications. We'll include as a sublist maybe.

We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Reference: For more information on this qualification standard - please visit https://www.va.gov/ohrm/QualificationStandards/" That's a reference link; maybe we can keep as part of Qualifications? It's a reference for more info; but it's not substantive detail about the job; it's a link. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link is not substantive? It's a reference; maybe we can drop as it's not required. It's not a duty or qualification. Probably safe to omit. Also "Physical Requirements: The position requires compliance with VA Handbook and VASTHCS Policy related to physical requirements" we kept. Now produce HTML. We need to wrap each section:Qualifications
then- ... etc. For long text we can keep as
- with line breaks using
maybe but not required. We'll just put text inside - . Make sure no stray markdown. Let's craft final HTML.
