Program Specialist - Office of Health Advancement and Community Engagement
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: application instructions, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive information. Include a section only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The posting includes:
- Position specifics: Program Coordinator description: "The Penn State College of Medicine Office of Health Advancement and Community Engagement seeks a highly organized and collaborative Program Coordinator to support educational pathway and workforce development programs. This position will coordinate program operations, logistics, communications, participant engagement, budget tracking, data collection, evaluation, and continuous improvement activities. The Program Coordinator will work with internal stakeholders, academic and community partners, speakers, volunteers, participants, and program graduates to ensure programs are well organized, accessible, compliant with University and campus policies and procedures, and aligned with office and institutional priorities."
That's about the role.
- Key Responsibilities: bullet list under subheadings: Program Coordination and Logistics, Communication and Outreach, Program Development, Delivery, and Assessment, Administration and Compliance, Partnerships and Stakeholder Engagement, Special Projects. Each has details.
- Qualifications: paragraph: "Experience coordinating programs, events, educational initiatives, community engagement activities, or workforce development efforts is preferred. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong organizational, communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills; attention to detail; the ability to manage multiple priorities; and proficiency using Microsoft Office and related technology tools. Experience working with academic, healthcare, community-based, or student-focused programs is beneficial."
- Minimum Education, Work Experience & Required Certifications: "Bachelor's Degree No prior relevant work experience required; previous relevant work experience accepted in lieu of education. Required Certifications: None"
- Background checks/clearances: details.
- This position requires that you operate a motor vehicle as a part of your job duties. A valid driver’s license and successful completion of a motor vehicle records check will be required in addition to standard background checks.
- Penn State does not sponsor or take over sponsorship of a staff employment Visa. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S.
- Salary & Benefits: salary range $49,188.00 - $71,340.00. Then description of benefits: competitive benefits package, medical, dental, vision, retirement plans, paid time off, 75% tuition discount.
- Campus Security Crime Statistics etc: boilerplate to remove.
- EEO etc: remove.
Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe "About the role" heading), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine Minimum Education etc), Skills (maybe from Qualifications), Benefits, Pay (salary range). Schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule section.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also "Requirements" but we have qualifications and maybe requirements (clearances, driver's license, work authorization). Could combine into Requirements.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list should be
- . Qualifications maybe bullet list? It's prose but we could break into bullet list of skills. However we have a separate Skills section maybe.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent.
Let's extract content:
About the role: The paragraph describing the position.
Responsibilities: list each bullet with its details.
We could structure as:
About the role

Responsibilities
- Program Coordination and Logistics: Coordinate on- and off-site program logistics, including reserving meeting space, managing registrations, preparing materials and supplies, arranging campus visits, supporting event set-up and close-out, and serving as a day-of-event contact for campus and community programs. Track expenses, monitor budgets, maintain program documentation, compile reports, and help ensure effective implementation.
- Communication and Outreach: Serve as a primary point of contact for internal teams, external partners, speakers, presenters, volunteers, applicants, participants, and program graduates. Develop communication systems that support participant engagement and progression. Prepare program-related emails, phone communications, agendas, itineraries, printed materials, marketing content, exhibit booth materials, and presentations. Implement outreach strategies and create informational resources to promote programs and generate interest.
- Program Development, Delivery, and Assessment: Support the development, implementation, evaluation, and improvement of educational pathway and workforce development programs. Research and benchmark best practices, recommend program enhancements, participate in and lead meetings with internal and external stakeholders, and use participant feedback, program data, and evaluation findings to assess effectiveness and impact.
- Administration and Compliance: Maintain participant, partner, volunteer, and stakeholder records; manage contact information; communicate with vendors; order program supplies and printed materials; and complete administrative duties as assigned. Help ensure program activities follow University and campus policies and procedures.
- Partnerships and Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain effective working relationships with internal units, academic partners, central offices, community partners, volunteers, speakers, program graduates, and other collaborators. Support student-centered pathway initiatives, including networking events, mentorship experiences, alumni engagement, and related activities.
- Special Projects: Support Office of Health Advancement and Community Engagement programs and special events as assigned, including logistics and coordination for visiting scholars, guest presenters, and other special events.
Qualifications: maybe combine Minimum Education etc.
We could have:
Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent relevant work experience)
- Experience coordinating programs, events, educational initiatives, community engagement activities, or workforce development efforts preferred
- Experience working with academic, healthcare, community-based, or student-focused programs beneficial
But we also have Skills: strong organizational, communication, interpersonal, problem-solving skills; attention to detail; ability to manage multiple priorities; proficiency using Microsoft Office and related technology tools.
We could put those under Skills.
Requirements: clearances, driver's license, work authorization, no visa sponsorship.
We could have a Requirements section.
But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Perhaps combine Qualifications and Skills into one "Qualifications and Skills" section? But the instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We could have Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (competencies). That's two sections.
Requirements (clearances, driver's license, work auth) could be another.
Benefits and Pay separate.
Let's decide:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Qualifications (education/experience)
- Skills (competencies)
- Requirements (clearances, driver's license, work authorization)
- Benefits
- Pay
Check if any section would be empty or filler. All have content.
Now we need to format Benefits as - for list of benefits. Benefits described: competitive benefits package for full-time employees designed to support both personal and professional well-being. In addition to comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, employees enjoy robust retirement plans and substantial paid time off which includes holidays, vacation and sick time. One of the standout benefits is the generous 75% tuition discount, available to employees as well as eligible spouses and children.
We could list: comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; robust retirement plans; substantial paid time off (holidays, vacation, sick time); 75% tuition discount for employees and eligible spouses/children.
Pay: salary range $49,188.00 - $71,340.00.
We should not include "Salary Structure - Information on Penn State's salary structure" as it's a link; we can drop that line as it's not substantive? It's a reference; but we can keep maybe as part of Pay section? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The line "Salary Structure - Information on Penn State's salary structure" is a pointer; maybe we can keep as a sentence? It's not substantive detail; but it's part of the posting. However it's basically a link; we could drop as it's not essential. Safer to keep the salary range only.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
Be careful to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed.
