Check we didn't miss any substantive info: Also mention "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional" maybe not needed. Also mention "VA Careers - Psychologist: https://youtube.com/embed/77qHlLw9Xck" that's a link maybe not needed but could be included in About the role? It's a link to a video; could be considered substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a link to a video about psychologist role. Might be considered part of the posting but not essential. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that link? It's a YouTube embed link. It's not boilerplate; it's a resource. Could include in About the role as a link. Also mention "Functional Statement #: 000000" maybe metadata, could be dropped as minor metadata. Also mention "Learn more" after EDRP contact email; we could include contact email in Benefits or About the role. We need to ensure we don't repeat info. Let's craft About the role paragraph: includes EDRP eligibility, must meet eligibility, submit within four months of appointment, award up to $200k, eligibility period 1-5 years determined by VHA Education Loan Repayment Services, contact VHA.ELRSProgramSupport@va.gov for questions, also link to VA Careers Psychologist video. Now Responsibilities: list duties from "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional Key job duties include - but are not limited to the following:" and the bullet list after that. Also earlier duties: "This position serves as a Staff Psychologist in the National Center for Warrior Independence (NCWI) at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare SystemThe position provides a full range of psychological services for the Outpatient Addiction Treatment Programs which includes the Addictive Behavior Clinic (ABC) and Opioid Treatment Program (OTP)". So incorporate that. Let's extract duties list: - Incumbent applies knowledge and experience working in substance use disorders - PTSD and trauma related disorders - and telemental health delivery - Diagnose mental disorders - conduct psychological assessments - treat mental disorders through a variety of modalities - provide adjunctive interventions for treatment of medical disorders - Provides a full range of psycho-diagnostic services including assessment and using the most appropriate psychotherapeutic techniques in providing quality care to patients diagnosed with a variety of mental disorders including but not limited to adjustment disorders - substance use disorders - depression - anxiety - post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - thought disorders problems related to Trauma Brain Injury (TBI) or other medical conditions as well as personality/characterological disorders - Consult with medical center staff on a wide variety of patient care issues - May be involved in program coordination and/or evaluation - teaching - training - and research activities - Provides direct psychological services approximately 80% of the time - Coordination - development and promotion of programs emphasizing group and individual treatment - and other psychological treatment modalities - for the treatment of alcohol and substance abuse - Complies with all required documentation procedures - including timeliness standards for documentation and proper patient check out procedures - Other duties as assigned Also earlier: "The position provides a full range of psychological services for the Outpatient Addiction Treatment Programs which includes the Addictive Behavior Clinic (ABC) and Opioid Treatment Program (OTP)". Could be a duty. We'll include that as a bullet. Now Requirements: basic requirements: US citizenship, licensure (full current unrestricted license to practice psychology at doctoral level in a state/territory/commonwealth/DC), exception for non-licensed applicants may be given temporary appointment as graduate psychologist GS-11/GS-12 for up to two years under supervision, education: doctoral degree in psychology from APA/PCSAS/CPA accredited program, specialty area consistent with assignment, OR re-specialization program, OR degree 1951-1978 regionally accredited with dissertation primarily psychological, internships: must have completed APA/CPA accredited internship consistent with assignment, OR new VHA internship programs in process of APA accreditation sanctioned, OR VHA facilities pre-1979 internships, OR applicants with non-accredited internship may be considered if board certified by ABPP in specialty consistent, OR applicants with degree 1951-1978 may fulfill internship requirement with equivalent one-year supervised internship experience verified. We need to preserve all that detail. That's a lot; we can summarize but must preserve substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. However we can condense but must keep all details? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we cannot omit details; we must keep all substantive info. Summarizing may be considered summarizing away detail. So we need to include the details, maybe as a list. We can break into subpoints but still preserve. Use- for each requirement.
Thus Requirements section will have a list of each requirement: Citizenship, Licensure (including exception), Education (including pathways), Internship (including pathways). That should capture all.
Qualifications: grade determinations: GS-11 Graduate Psychologist Experience: none beyond basic requirements. GS-12 Graduate Psychologist Experience: at least one year creditable experience as professional psychologist equivalent to GS-11 and demonstrate KSAs list. GS-13 Staff Psychologist Experience: at least two years experience as professional psychologist with at least one year equivalent to GS-12 and demonstrate KSAs list.
We need to include those KSAs.
Skills: maybe we can separate KSAs as Skills section. But we already have KSAs in Qualifications. Could combine but we need separate sections only if content. We could put KSAs under Skills, and Qualifications just about grade/experience requirements. Let's decide.
Qualifications: could include the grade/experience requirements (GS-11, GS-12, GS-13). Skills: include the knowledge, skills, abilities lists.
Thus:
Qualifications
- GS-11 Graduate Psychologist: No experience beyond basic requirements.
- GS-12 Graduate Psychologist: At least one year of creditable experience as a professional psychologist equivalent to GS-11; plus demonstrate KSAs (list).
- GS-13 Staff Psychologist: At least two years experience as a professional psychologist with at least one year equivalent to GS-12; plus demonstrate KSAs (list).
