South Texas – Regional Medical Director

The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. I need to follow specific rules: 1. Use

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) 2. Use

• for lists of duties/requirements/benefits 3. Use

  for prose 4. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading 5. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings 6. Preserve ALL substantive information 7. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions) 8. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it 9. Never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text 10. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them 11. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences Let me analyze the job posting content: The posting has: - Role Overview with Position, Department, Reports to, Summary/Objective, Market - Essential Functions (list of duties) - Key Deliverables (list of deliverables) - About The Facility (but seems to be qualifications section) - Qualifications (list) - Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (list) - Competencies (list) - Physical Requirements (list) - Mental Requirements (prose) - Other Duties (boilerplate) - Adherence to Company Policies and Rules (boilerplate) - Diversity (boilerplate) - AAP/EEO Statement (boilerplate, cut off) I need to organize this into appropriate sections. Let me map: 1. "About the role" - could include the summary/objective and market info 2. "Responsibilities" - Essential Functions and Key Deliverables 3. "Requirements" or "Qualifications" - the Qualifications section 4. "Skills" - Knowledge, Skills and Abilities and Competencies 5. "Physical Requirements" - Physical Requirements 6. "Mental Requirements" - Mental Requirements The posting doesn't have explicit Pay, Schedule, or Benefits sections, so I won't create those. I should fold minor metadata (Department, Reports to) into a short

  in the About the role section. Let me structure the HTML:
