We have content: Summary (maybe About the role). Qualifications (basic requirements). Duties (Responsibilities). Work Schedule (Schedule). Pay and Benefits (Benefits, Pay). Also recruitment incentives maybe part of Benefits. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some like "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" etc. We'll keep substantive. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience".

We need to decide sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (qualifications), Benefits (maybe combine Pay and Benefits? but we have separate headings for Pay, Benefits, Schedule). We'll create sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Ensure we don't create empty sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Nuclear Medicine Physician. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract. Summary: "The VA North Texas Health Care System - Dallas - Texas is currently recruiting for a Nuclear Medicine Physician capable of providing advanced molecular imaging - nuclear cardiology - and theranostics clinical care."

Responsibilities/Duties: Long list of privileges: Nuclear Medicine Core privileges (list many exams), Non-Routine Nuclear Medicine Core privileges, Molecular Imaging Core privileges, Nuclear Medicine Therapy Core privileges, Nuclear Cardiology Core privileges. Also mention that this is an open continuous announcement with dates, application active period, etc. That's also part of duties? Actually that's administrative info about announcement. Might be considered part of Responsibilities? Could be separate but we have no heading for "Announcement Details". Might include under Responsibilities as prose. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the bullet list of privileges exactly as given. That's huge. We'll need to preserve them. Use
