We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, duties, qualifications, etc. We must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections with real specific content. We have content: Summary about EDRP eligibility, program approval, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "Benefits"? Actually EDRP is a benefit (student loan repayment). So we could put under Benefits. We have Qualifications: Basic Requirements (citizenship, education, internship, license). Also Grade Determinations (GS-11 to GS-13). Also Physical Requirements. Also Preferred Experience. Also Work Schedule. Also Virtual statement. Also EDPR Authorized note. We need to decide sections: Could have "About the role" (summary of position, duties). "Responsibilities" (duties). "Qualifications" (basic requirements, grade determinations, physical). "Skills" maybe from KSAs. "Benefits" (EDRP). "Schedule" (Work Schedule). "Pay" maybe not present (no salary). So we omit Pay if not stated. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections with actual content. Let's extract: About the role: Could be the summary paragraph: "Join a dynamic team at the Battle Creek VA Medical Center - where you'll make a meaningful impact in the lives of Veterans facing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges As a Staff Psychologist with full clinical privileges - you'll serve as a champion for recovery-focused care - providing expert assessment - diagnosis - and evidence-based treatment in a multidisciplinary environment". That's descriptive. Responsibilities: The list of duties after "Key Duties:" includes bullet-like sentences. We'll put each as
  • . Qualifications: Basic Requirements (citizenship, education, internship, license). Also Grade Determinations (GS-11-13 experience). Also Physical Requirements. Also Preferred Experience (maybe under Skills). We'll combine. Skills: The KSAs (knowledge, skills, abilities) for each grade level. Could be under Skills. Benefits: EDRP details. Schedule: Work Schedule description. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. We need to be careful to keep all details: The EDRP eligibility: "Position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program. You 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." Also note: "EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive Contact vhaedrpprogramsupport@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance Learn more". We'll include that. Qualifications details: Basic Requirements: United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy. Education: doctoral degree in psychology from APA, PCSAS, or CPA accredited program, specialty area consistent with assignment, etc. Lots of detail. We must preserve all that. We need to include the OR conditions etc. Must not lose any. We'll need to format as HTML with

    headings and
    • for lists,

      for prose. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The text didn't have that. We must not include application instructions (like "Contact ..."? Actually contact for EDRP is okay as part of benefits). The instruction to submit EDRP application within four months is part of benefit. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's craft. First, decide sections: - About the role (summary paragraph) - Responsibilities (duties list) - Qualifications (basic requirements, grade determinations, physical requirements, preferred experience) - Skills (KSAs) - Benefits (EDRP) - Schedule (Work Schedule) We could also include "Physical Requirements" as part of Qualifications. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract each piece. About the role: The paragraph after "Duties Join a dynamic team..." Actually the heading "Duties" appears before responsibilities. But we have a summary before that: "Join a dynamic team at the Battle Creek VA Medical Center - where you'll make a meaningful impact in the lives of Veterans facing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges As a Staff Psychologist with full clinical privileges - you'll serve as a champion for recovery-focused care - providing expert assessment - diagnosis - and evidence-based treatment in a multidisciplinary environment". That's about the role. We'll put that in

      . Responsibilities: The list after "Key Duties:" includes: - Deliver comprehensive psychological services-including individual - group - and family therapies-to Veterans and their families - addressing substance use disorders and a broad range of psychiatric conditions - Conduct psychological assessments - formulate diagnostic impressions - and develop collaborative treatment plans using advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based modalities - Provide crisis intervention - suicide prevention - and therapeutic services tailored to diverse patient needs - utilizing Measurement Based Care principles - Administer and interpret psychodiagnostic tests - compose detailed reports - and serve as an authoritative resource for test interpretation and differential diagnosis - Collaborate with clinicians across disciplines - participate in treatment team meetings - and coordinate care within the SUD clinic and the broader continuum of VA services - Offer outreach - education - and psychoeducational interventions to Veterans and their families - enhancing coping skills and social functioning - Supervise and mentor psychology trainees - interns - and residents - contributing to the growth of future professionals - Maintain accurate clinical documentation - participate in program evaluation - and uphold the highest standards of patient privacy and ethical practice - Engage in quality improvement - peer review - and consultative roles - supporting both clinical excellence and organizational mission We'll put each as

    • . Qualifications: Basic Requirements: We'll need to include all subpoints. Let's extract Basic Requirements text: "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 employedFor the purpose of meeting this requirement - the term ""specialty area"" refers to the specific specialty areas recognized by the accrediting body and not to specific job duties that might require special skillsCurrently - APA accredits doctoral programs in the specialty areas of clinical psychology - counseling psychology - school psychology - or combinations of two or more of those areasPCSAS accredits doctoral programs in psychological clinical scienceCPA accredits doctoral programs in clinical psychology - counseling psychology - clinical neuropsychology - and school psychologyThere are no job assignments in VHA that require the skills of a school psychologisttherefore - an applicant with a degree in the specialty area of school psychology is not eligible for appointmentStrictly for the purpose of determining eligibility for appointment as a psychologist in VHA - there is no distinction between the specialty areas (with the exception of school psychology).OR(2) 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:(a) The re-specialization program must be completed in an APA or a CPA accredited doctoral programand -(b) the specialty in which the applicant is retrained must be consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is to be employed.[OR(3) Have a doctoral degree awarded between 1951 and 1978 from a regionally-accredited institution - with a dissertation primarily psychological in nature.]AND Internships(a) 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 employed.OR(b) 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 intern;OR(c) 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 requirement;OR(d) 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.)[OR(e) Applicants who have a doctoral degree awarded between 1951 and 1978 from a regionally- accredited institution with a dissertation primarily psychological in nature may fulfill this internship requirement by having the equivalent of a one-year supervised internship experience in a site specifically acceptable to the candidate's doctoral programIf the internship experience is not noted on the applicant's official transcript - the applicant must provide a statement from the doctoral program verifying that the equivalent of a one- year supervised internship experience was completed in a site acceptable to the doctoral programLicense.- Hold a full - current - and unrestricted license to practice psychology at the doctoral level in a State - Territory - or Commonwealth of the United States - or the District of ColumbiaExceptionNon-licensed applicants who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements may be given a temporary appointment as a ""graduate psychologist"" at the GS-11 or GS- 12 grade under the authority of 38 U.S.C.7405 [(c)(2)(B)] for a period not to exceed two years from the date of employment on the condition that such a psychologist provide care only under the supervision of a psychologist who is licensedFailure to obtain licensure during that period is justification for termination of the temporary appointment" That's a huge block. We need to preserve all. We'll break into

      paragraphs maybe. We also have Grade Determinations: "Grade DeterminationsIn addition to the basic requirements for employment - the following criteria must be met when determining the grade of candidates: GS-11 (Entry Level) ExperienceNone beyond the basic requirementsGS-12 (Developmental Level) ExperienceAt least one year of experience as a professional psychologist equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-11)Psychologists who are not licensed must practice under the supervision of a licensed psychologist but with less intense supervision than at the GS-11 grade levelDemonstrated Knowledge - Skills - and AbilitiesIn addition to the experience above - the candidate must demonstrate all of the following KSAs: Knowledge of and ability to apply a wide range of professional psychological treatments or assessment methods to a variety of patient populationsAbility to design and implement effective treatment strategiesAbility to incorporate new clinical proceduresAbility to conduct research activities - such as designing and implementing clinical research projects (staff psychologists with specified research job duties)Ability to perform basic research tasks of scholarship and research execution within the context of an established research team - including research participant relations - research documentation - data acquisition - maintenance - and collaborationGS-13 (Full Performance - Level ExperienceAt least two years of experience as a professional psychologist - with at least one year equivalent to the GS-12 grade levelDemonstrated Knowledge - Skills - and AbilitiesIn addition to the experience above - the candidate must demonstrate all of the following KSAs: Knowledge
