We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed. Check for any repeated content: The summary about EDRP appears also later in duties section but we kept only once. Check for any placeholders like "up to $200 -000" we corrected to $200,000. The original had a space; we should preserve the number but format normally. It's okay. Check for any mention of "VA Physician Total Rewards" etc. We captured benefits. Check for any mention of "Contact vhaedrpprogramsupport@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance". We included contact. Check for any mention of "Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply." included. Check for any mention of "Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) & eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review of the EDRP application." included. Check for any mention of "You must meet specific eligibility requirements per VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment." included. Check for any mention of "Currently employed physician(s) in VA who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation." This is a nuance about current VA physicians; we might need to include it. It's part of qualifications/requirements. Should we add? It says: Currently employed physician(s) in VA who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation. That's a requirement clarification. We should include it under Requirements. Add a bullet: "Currently employed VA physicians who met the prior qualification standard at initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements." Also note about "Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements
