Section Chief of Pain Medicine (Physical Integrated Medicine Service)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Duties. Requirements? Qualifications? Skills? Benefits? Pay? Schedule? We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Summary: mentions Education Debt Reduction Program eligibility, etc. That's a benefit? It's a program. Could be Benefits section. - Qualifications: includes Basic Requirements, Additional Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Requirements. - Duties: includes many bullet points. - Pay: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases" - Paid Time Off: 50-55 days of paid time off per year (details). That's Benefits. - Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract: these are benefits. - Work Schedule: Monday - Friday 7:30am-4:00pm (Subject to change). That's Schedule. Thus we need sections: Qualifications (maybe split into Requirements? but we can use Qualifications heading). Duties (Responsibilities). Benefits (including EDRP, PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract). Pay. Schedule. We must not repeat job title. No headings for Job ID etc. We must use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to include EDRP details: eligibility, award amount up to $200,000, eligibility period one to five years, former participants ineligible, contact email. We need to include Pay: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". That's it. Benefits: list items: Education Debt Reduction Program (details), Paid Time Off (50-55 days per year breakdown), Retirement (Traditional federal pension 5 years vesting and federal 401K with up to 5% contributions), Insurance (Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care), Licensure (1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory), CME (Possible $1,000 per year reimbursement must be full-time with board certification), Malpractice (Free liability protection with tail coverage), Contract (No Physician Employment Contract and no significant restriction on moonlighting). Also maybe mention "VHA Physician Total Rewards" but that's heading. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

  Qualifications

  ... maybe combine basic requirements etc as paragraphs? But we need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for qualifications we can list items as
    • . However there are paragraphs describing requirements; we could still use

      for prose and

      for lists. The instruction: "Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose." So if we have a list of requirements, we should use

        • . The qualifications section includes multiple items: Basic Requirements (with subitems), Additional Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Requirements. We could treat each as a list item? Might be better to keep prose for each subsection and use
          for the enumerated items within. But to simplify, we can make each bullet as
          • under a
            . However the content includes long sentences; still okay. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can break into
