Psychologist (BHIP)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Duties. Requirements? Qualifications. Benefits? Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, EDRP? Pay? There's mention of Pay: Competitive salary... but no specific numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Pay: Competitive salary... That's vague but still states something about pay. Should we include Pay section? It says "Competitive salary and regular salary increases - When setting pay - a higher step rate..." That's still generic but it's present. So we can include Pay section with that text. Schedule: Work Schedule: Monday - Friday 8:00am - 4:30pm Telework: Not Available Virtual: This is not a virtual position. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, EDRP Authorized (though EDRP is a program). Also mention Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized. EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible. So we can include Benefits section with those. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. We need headings:

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only those that have content. We have Responsibilities (Duties). We have Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine?). The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Requirements? But Qualifications covers requirements. We'll include Qualifications. We must not emit heading with filler. So ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract content. Responsibilities: The Duties paragraph. Provide as

• items? The duties are a paragraph with bullet-like sentences separated by hyphens. We can convert each bullet to
• . The text includes "Major Duties and Responsibilities - include but are not limited to:" then list items each starting with "-". We'll extract each bullet. List: - Provide evidence-based - recovery-oriented - strength-based - and trauma-informed mental health care - collaborating with Veterans and their identified Caregivers to determine appropriate clinical interventions - Conduct comprehensive psychosocial assessments and develop individualized treatment plans with measurable - attainable goals - incorporating Measurement-Based Care tools - Demonstrate knowledge of treatment protocols for a range of psychiatric disorders and competence in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) - Maintain general understanding of common psychotropic medications and their effects - Accurately use mental health and medical terminology to support effective communication with interdisciplinary team members - Complete timely - thorough clinical documentation in the electronic health record and review interdisciplinary notes to ensure coordinated - comprehensive care - Perform rapid assessments and develop crisis intervention plans - including determining the need for psychiatric hospitalization or readiness for admission to mental health or substance use residential programs - Participate in collaborative clinical discussions and advocate for Veterans' psychosocial and mental health needs - particularly as they relate to treatment engagement and adherence - Routinely assess Veterans' mental health status throughout the course of treatment and coordinate with the care team to support appropriate transitions to the least restrictive level of care while maintaining clinical stability - Implement timely and effective discharge or transition plans - Maintain a general understanding of available Veteran benefits - services - and specialized programs - Demonstrate flexibility by assuming additional responsibilities as needed to support the mission of the organization - the outpatient mental health service line - and the Veterans served - Engage in ongoing professional development through self-assessment - supervision - and participation in clinical discussions We'll put each as
• . Qualifications: The big block. Need to preserve all substantive info. Could be long. We'll keep as

  maybe with paragraphs. But we could break into

  for requirements? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So qualifications is a list of requirements; we should use
    • . However the qualifications text is dense with many OR conditions. Might be better to keep as

      to preserve detail? But instruction says use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert to list items. However the qualifications are not simple bullet list; they are complex sentences with ORs. Could still be list items each representing a requirement. Might be okay to split by major bullet points: Basic Requirements (citizenship, education, internship, licensure, grade requirements). Then Grade Requirements with sub-items. But to keep simple, we can present as

        preserving the text. The instruction says use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we don't make a list, we might violate. Safer to make a list: each distinct requirement as
        • . But that could lose nuance. However we can embed the detailed OR sentences inside
        • . That's acceptable. Let's parse qualifications section: Starts: "Qualifications Applicants pending the completion of educational or certification/licensure requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met." Then "Basic Requirements United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA PolicyEducation: Have a doctoral degree in psychology from a graduate program in psychology accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) - the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) - or the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) at the time the program was completedThe specialty area of the degree must be consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is to be employedOR - Have a doctoral degree in any area of psychology and - in addition - successfully complete a re- specialization program (including documentation of an approved internship completed as part of the re- specialization program) meeting both of the following conditions: The re-specialization program must be completed in an APA or a CPA accredited doctoral programand - the specialty in which the applicant is retrained must be consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is to be employedHave a doctoral degree awarded between 1951 and 1978 from a regionally-accredited institution - with a dissertation primarily psychological in natureAND - Internship: Have successfully completed a professional psychology internship training program that was accredited by APA or CPA at the time the program was completed and that is consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is to be employedOR - New VHA psychology internship programs that are in the process of applying for APA accreditation are acceptable in fulfillment of the internship requirement - provided that such programs were sanctioned by the VHA Central Office Program Director for Psychology and the VHA Office of Academic Affiliations at the time that the individual was an internOR - VHA facilities that offered full-time - one-year pre-doctoral internships prior to PL 96- 151 (pre- 1979) are considered to be acceptable in fulfillment of the internship requirementOR - Applicants who completed an internship that was not accredited by APA or CPA at the time the program was completed may be considered eligible for hire only if they are currently board certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology in a specialty area that is consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is to be employed(NOTE: Once board certified - the employee is required to maintain board certification.)

We need to strip out the referral to other vacancies (Social Worker, LMHC) as that's not part of this job? It's still part of posting but maybe considered boilerplate? It's not about this position. Might be considered irrelevant but it's still substantive? It's a referral to other vacancies. Probably we should drop as it's not about this role. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those, but it's a referral to other vacancies. Might be considered not part of this job's content. Safer
