Physician - Surgery Section Chief

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We need to include only sections that have real content. We need to parse the posting: It includes Summary (EDRP eligibility), Qualifications (basic requirements, etc.), Duties (list of duties), Pay (competitive salary etc.), Benefits (total rewards package includes PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract), Work Schedule (Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm). Also there is mention of Recruitment Incentive (Sign-on Bonus) etc. That could be part of Benefits or Pay? The instruction: Use headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put Pay section with salary info, bonus, etc. Benefits section with PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract, recruitment incentive, relocation incentive, EDRP info? Actually EDRP is a program eligibility, maybe part of Benefits? Could be separate but we only have headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could include EDRP info under Benefits or maybe under a separate section like "About the role"? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which sections to include based on content. We have content for Qualifications (basic requirements etc.), Responsibilities (duties), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe About the role (summary). We'll include About the role (summary about EDRP eligibility). Responsibilities (duties). Qualifications (basic requirements etc.). Benefits (total rewards package). Pay (competitive salary etc.). Schedule (work schedule). We'll not include Requirements separate if we have Qualifications; but we could combine. We'll follow typical: Qualifications section includes basic requirements etc. Responsibilities includes duties. Benefits includes PTO, retirement, insurance, etc. Pay includes salary, bonus, incentives. Schedule includes work schedule. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Ensure we don't include headings with empty content. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like amounts, numbers, etc. Let's extract: Summary: EDPR eligibility, must meet eligibility per VHA policy, submit application within four months of appointment. Program Approval - award amount (up to $200,000) & eligibility period (one to five years) determined by VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review. Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply. Qualifications: To qualify - must meet basic requirements as well as any additional requirements listed. Applicants pending completion of training or license may be referred but not hired until all met. Currently employed physician(s) in VA who met requirements for appointment under previous qualification standard at time of initial appointment are deemed to have met basic requirements. Basic Requirements: - United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when not possible to recruit qualified citizens per VA Policy. - Degree of doctor of medicine or equivalent from allopathic or osteopathic medicine; degree must be from VA-approved schools for the year. - Current full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a State/Territory/Commonwealth of US or DC. - Residency Training: Physicians must have completed residency training approved by Secretary of VA in an accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification. Note: VA physicians involved in academic training may need board certification for faculty status. Approved residencies: 1) Those approved by ACGME or AOA in list published for year residency (or fellowship if applicable) completed. 2) One year of post-medical school training (internship - first year of residency - or transitional year residency) approved by ACGME or AOA followed by two years of post-training independent practice (performing under full unrestricted license) in US. 3) Non-US residency training programs followed by minimum of three years of verified independent practice in US (performing under full unrestricted license) performing duties related to position they are applying for (US fellowships creditable towards this requirement) - which local Medical Staff Executive Committee deems appropriate professional training and believes has exposed physician to appropriate range of patient care experiences. - Exceptions: Residents currently enrolled in ACGME/AOA accredited residency training programs and who would otherwise meet basic requirements are eligible to be appointed as "Physician Resident Providers" (PRPs). PRPs must be fully licensed physicians (not a training license) and may only be appointed on an intermittent basis. PRPs not considered independent practitioners and will not be privileged; rather they have a "scope of practice" that allows them to perform certain restricted duties under supervision. Additionally, surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs. In rare/unusual circumstances, Facility Director can submit memo to VISN Director through VISN Chief Medical Officer, who may approve requests for reasonable exceptions to residency training requirement for physicians whose composite record of experience, accomplishments, performance, and qualifications warrant such action. - Proficiency in spoken and written English. - Preferred Experience: Credentialing and demonstrated competency in endoscopy procedures. - Reference link.

We need to avoid repeating job title. Not needed. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide what goes into each section. About the role: Could include summary about EDRP eligibility. Could be a paragraph. Responsibilities: duties list. Qualifications: basic requirements etc. Could be a mix of prose and list. Benefits: total rewards package items (PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract, recruitment incentive, relocation incentive, EDRP info? Actually EDRP is a program eligibility; maybe include under Benefits as well). But we also have Pay section separate. Pay: competitive salary, annual performance bonus, regular salary increases, recruitment incentive, relocation incentive? Actually recruitment incentive is a sign-on bonus; could be considered Pay. But we already have Pay section; we can include salary, bonus, increases, recruitment incentive, relocation incentive. However the recruitment incentive is also listed under Benefits in the text. But we can decide to put it under Pay as it's a bonus. The instruction: Use headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to split accordingly. Let's define: - About the role: summary about EDRP eligibility (maybe also mention that position eligible for EDRP). Could be a paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the long list). Use

  • for each duty. - Qualifications: basic requirements etc. Could include paragraphs and lists for citizenship, degree, license, residency training options, exceptions, English proficiency, preferred experience. - Benefits: total rewards package excluding pay? Could include PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract. Also maybe EDRP program details? But EDRP is about loan repayment; could be considered a benefit. We'll include EDRP details under Benefits as well. - Pay: competitive salary, annual performance bonus, regular salary increases, recruitment incentive (sign-on bonus $1
