Psychology Program Manager - Vet Center Director

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Duties section. Requirements? Qualifications? Skills? Benefits? Pay? Schedule? We need to include only sections only if posting has real specific content. We have: - Summary: mentions EDRP eligibility, need to apply within four months, program approval details. That's about benefits? It's a program. Could be placed under Benefits? Or maybe a separate section "Education Debt Reduction Program". But allowed headings are limited to: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these. We have Qualifications: many details about education, internship, licensure, English proficiency, grade determinations, etc. That's Qualifications. We have Duties: description of role responsibilities. That's Responsibilities. We have Work Schedule: Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm, some nights and weekends required. That's Schedule. We have Pay: "Competitive salary and regular salary increases... Above Minimum Rate of the Grade". That's Pay. We have Benefits: Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance. Also EDRP details. So Benefits section. We have maybe Requirements? Could be basic requirements (citizenship, education, internship, licensure). But those are part of Qualifications. The posting lumps them under Qualifications. So we can just have Qualifications. We have Skills? Not explicitly listed separate; but grade determinations include KSAs (knowledge, skills, abilities). Could be placed under Skills. However we already have Qualifications covering KSAs. Might be redundant. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine KSAs into Qualifications. No separate Skills section needed. Thus sections: Responsibilities (Duties), Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need headings

for each. Inside each, use

for prose,

• for lists. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. We need to include EDRP details within Benefits. We need to include Pay details. We need to include Schedule details. We need to include Responsibilities: the duties description. We need to include Qualifications: all the qualification text. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text includes some like "Contact VHA.ELRSProgramSupport@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistanceLearn more". That's application instruction? It's contact for EDRP. Might be considered part of Benefits? It's contact info. Probably we can keep as part of Benefits? It's not boilerplate; it's specific contact for EDRP. Keep. Also "Learn more Pay:" seems garbled. We'll keep Pay section. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Let's extract content.
