Psychology Program Manager (Dementia Care Behavioral Consult)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Summary (EDRP eligibility), Qualifications (extensive), Duties (role description), Work Schedule (Monday-Friday 0700-1630, Compressed/Flexible: Available Telework: Ad-hoc Virtual: not virtual), Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized, EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive, Contact info, etc. Also Physical Requirements and Environmental Factors maybe under Skills? Could be under Requirements? The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content. We have: - About the role: could be summary of position (EDRP eligibility, role description). Could combine summary and duties? But we need separate sections if content exists. - Responsibilities: duties list. - Requirements: basic requirements (citizenship, education, internship, licensure, board certification, grade determinations, etc.) Might be under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe the qualifications section (the long qualifications). Actually the posting has a "Qualifications" heading with extensive details. So we can put that under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe the KSAs (knowledge, skills, abilities) and preferred experience, physical requirements, environmental factors. - Benefits: EDRP eligibility info (student loan reimbursement program) maybe also other benefits? Not much else. Could include EDRP as benefit. - Pay: not specified (no salary). So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific content. - Schedule: work schedule details. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we skip Pay. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. We need to use

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

  for prose. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

  About the role

Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply.

  Maybe also include that it's not a virtual position? That's more schedule. But we can keep.

Note: VHA has no job assignments requiring school psychology skills, so a degree in school psychology is not eligible for appointment. For VHA eligibility, there is no distinction between specialty areas except school psychology.

  Qualifications

  The posting includes a detailed Qualifications section (the same as Requirements? Actually the text after "Qualifications" includes the extensive Basic Requirements etc. So maybe we should treat that as Qualifications. But we already used Requirements for basic requirements. The instructions say use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need both Requirements and Qualifications sections if content exists. The posting has a "Qualifications" heading with the extensive details. So we should put that under Qualifications. The Requirements section could be something else like "Basic Requirements" maybe but we can treat that as Requirements. However the text after "Qualifications" is exactly the Basic Requirements etc. So we could move that to Qualifications and leave Requirements empty? But we must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we need to ensure each heading has real content. Thus we need to decide: Which content belongs to Requirements vs Qualifications? The posting has a "Qualifications" heading then the long details. There's no separate "Requirements" heading. However we could still create a Requirements section for things like citizenship, education, licensure, etc. But that would be duplicating content. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does not have a separate "Requirements" heading, but it does have content that could be considered requirements. The instruction says: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not mandatory to use all. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can include Requirements if we can map specific content to it. The posting does have content that could be considered requirements (citizenship, education, licensure, etc.) even though not under a heading labeled Requirements. So we can create a Requirements section with that content. Similarly Qualifications: the posting has a Qualifications heading with the same content? Actually the Qualifications heading is followed by the extensive details (the same as we just considered). So we need to decide not to duplicate. Perhaps we treat the Qualifications section as the detailed qualifications (including education, licensure, etc.) and the Requirements section as something else like "Grade Determinations" or "Preferred Experience"? But the posting includes "Preferred Experience: Supervisory experience preferred Experience working with memory care or neurocognitive preferred". That could be under Requirements or Qualifications. Also "Physical Requirements" and "Environmental Factors". Those could be under Skills. Thus we can split: - Requirements: Basic eligibility (citizenship, English proficiency, education, licensure, board certification, grade determinations). This is substantive. - Qualifications: The detailed qualifications list (maybe the same as Requirements?). But to avoid duplication, we could treat Qualifications as the "Preferred Experience" and "Physical Requirements" and "Environmental Factors"? But those are more like Skills. Better approach: Use the headings as they appear in the posting: There's a "Qualifications" heading with the extensive details. There's no separate "Requirements". So we should only have Qualifications heading, not Requirements. But the instruction's examples include Requirements; we can omit if no specific content. However we do have content that could be considered requirements, but it's under Qualifications heading. So we can just put all that under Qualifications. Then we need Skills: KSAs, preferred experience, physical requirements, environmental factors. Benefits: EDRP info. Schedule: Work schedule. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We must not include Pay. Let's craft. About the role: summary paragraph (including EDRP eligibility). Could also mention role title? Not repeat job title. Responsibilities: list of duties. Qualifications: the extensive qualifications text (the block after "Qualifications"). We need to format as prose (

  ) or maybe list? It's long; we can keep as

  but it's huge. Could break into

  paragraphs for readability
