We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting: It includes Summary about EDRP, Qualifications (basic requirements, grade determinations, etc.), Duties (list of duties), Work Schedule, Recruitment Incentive etc., Parental Leave, Retirement, Insurance, Telework, Virtual, etc. Also mentions EDRP authorized, sign-on bonus not authorized, relocation not authorized. We need to decide sections: Possibly About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (qualifications/basic requirements), Benefits (parental leave, retirement, insurance, telework, EDRP?), Pay (maybe not specified; there is no pay amount, so we should NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not state salary, so omit Pay. Schedule: there is work schedule Monday-Friday 7:30-4:00 or 8:00-4:30, adjustable. So we can include Schedule section. Skills: maybe we can include under Requirements or separate Skills? The posting includes KSAs (knowledge, skills, abilities). Could be Skills section. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Skills into Qualifications? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple. But we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they are distinct headings. However we can include both if they have content. Let's see content: Qualifications includes basic requirements (citizenship, education, licensure, English proficiency, grandfathering). Also grade determinations (experience/education, licensure/certification, KSAs). Also preferred experience. That's a lot. Could be under Qualifications. Requirements maybe could be basic requirements? But we can treat Qualifications as the main section and maybe not have separate Requirements. However the instruction says we can use those headings; we don't have to use all. So we can choose to include Qualifications and maybe Skills (KSAs) separate? But KSAs are part of qualifications. Could put them under Qualifications as a list. Responsibilities: duties list. Benefits: EDRP, parental leave, retirement, insurance, telework (maybe). Also note EDRP authorized, sign-on bonus not authorized, relocation not authorized. Those are benefits? Could be under Benefits. Schedule: work schedule. About the role: summary about EDRP eligibility? Actually summary mentions EDRP eligibility. Could be About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. We need to output HTML with

headings and appropriate
  • for lists,

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must not include duplicated lines. We need to be careful to include all details from the posting. Let's extract content. Summary: "This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program.

Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) and eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after complete review of the EDRP application." Note there is a typo "$200 -000" likely means $200,000. We'll keep as written? Probably preserve exactly: "$200 -000". We'll keep. Qualifications section: Contains multiple subparts.

Duties: The Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program Team (BHIP) is a multidisciplinary team ... list of duties. Let's extract duties as bullet points. Duties paragraph: "The Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program Team (BHIP) is a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals and administrative staff that provide comprehensive accessible patient centered mental health care in partnership with the Veteran and the Veteran's significant other and/or familyThe team manages - coordinates - and provides Veteran-centered - recovery-oriented - and evidence-based care that is consistent with the Veteran's identified treatment goalsMajor duties include - but are not limited to: The incumbent must possess the knowledge and ability to independently implement treatment modalities - identify level of functioning - degree of impairment in occupational - social - academic - interpersonal and familyPerform mental status exams (MSE)Identify psychiatric manifestations of various medical conditionsPossess knowledge of the criteria and state laws for legal commitment and involuntary hospitalizationsAbility to assess and intervene with patients of suspected abuseProvide evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals - families and groupsComplete treatment plans using Mental Health Suites or as otherwise VA specified on all assigned patientsPossesses working knowledge and experience in use of medical and mental health diagnoses - disabilities and treatment procedures in working with diverse populations and circumstancesThis includes acute - chronic and traumatic illnesses/injuries - psychiatric - medical and social problems - common medications and their effects/side effects and medical terminologyThe candidate must determine the presenting problem - determine in-home factors impacting the problem - and determine obstacles to treatment and/or follow through with recommended treatmentsSocial work coordination with members of the treatment team is required - to ensure a collaborative effort to meet the treatment goals for a VeteranResponsible for monitoring high-risk patients on their teamWorks in collaboration with the Suicide prevention team and the Local Recovery Coordinator and will be well versed in suicide prevention SOPsPerforms advanced level management interventions used in the treatment of veterans with poly-trauma injuries - spinal cord injuries - traumatic brain injuries - visual impairment - post-traumatic stress disorder - addictions - and serious mental illnessFacilitate completion of advanced directives and psychiatric advanced directives with Veterans and their familiesMaintain familiarity with and support all VA performance measures that pertain to their practiceProvides for Documentation per the SAVAHCS policiesDocumentation of staff interventions and activities in patients' clinical record {CPRS) and ensures appropriate hand off using SBAR when transferring patients careDocument all contacts with patients/families in the medical charts per policyCompletes all clinical reminders per policyCompletes consults management per policyCompletes statistical and other reports in accordance with the SAVAHCS and respective professional discipline service policiesCollaborates with SAVAHCS multi-disciplinary teams and participates in committee assignments as requested by supervisorCollaborates with community agencies to strive for developing more effective and efficient ways of delivering healthcare services for VeteransResponsible for supporting the mission - policies - and procedures of the Department of Veterans Affairs - the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) - the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) - and the Southern VA Health Care System (SAVAHCS)Willing to modify their tour of duty to accommodate patient care needs on evenings and weekends" We need to break into list items. Each duty separated by maybe a capital letter after a period? The text is messy. We'll need to parse manually. Let's split by sentences (period). But there are missing spaces. We'll approximate.
