We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Duties section. Requirements? Qualifications? Skills? Benefits? Pay? Schedule? We must include only sections with real specific content. We have: - Summary: mentions EDRP eligibility. That's a benefit? Could be under Benefits? It's a program. Could be a separate section? The instruction: Use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have a "Summary" paragraph about EDRP. That could go under Benefits (since it's a benefit). Also there is "Pay: Competitive salary..." and "Paid Time Off: ..." etc. Those are benefits and pay. We have "Work Schedule: M-F 7:30am-4:00pm Compressed/Flexible: Available". That's schedule. We have "Recruitment Incentive (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Not Authorized EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive". That's benefits? Not authorized. We have "Qualifications" huge section with basic requirements etc. That's Qualifications. We have "Grade Determinations: Staff Psychologist - GS-11 (Entry Level) ExperienceNone beyond the basic requirements ..." That's also qualifications/requirements. We have "Duties" long list. That's Responsibilities. We have "Physical Requirements: See VA Directive and Handbook 5019." That's maybe not needed as separate section; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not listed as a heading we must use; we could drop. We have "English Language Proficiency", "Driver's License Requirement", "Grandfathering Provision". Those are qualifications/requirements. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we need to include sections only if there is real specific content. Thus we will produce:

Responsibilities

with
  • each duty item.

    Qualifications

    with content: include basic requirements, education, internships, licensure, English language proficiency, driver's license, grandfathering provision, grade determinations (maybe as subpoints). We need to keep as prose or list? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So for qualifications we can break into

      • for each requirement category. We need to include all details verbatim? Must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy the text exactly? Probably we can keep the wording but format as list items. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We must not include application instructions. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to include Pay and Benefits sections if they have specific content. Pay: "Pay: Competitive salary and regular salary increases when setting pay - a higher step rate of the appropriate grade may be determined after consideration of higher or unique qualifications or special needs of the VA (Above Minimum Rate of the Grade)". That's specific. Benefits: includes EDRP eligibility, Paid Time Off details, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, maybe also mention Recruitment Incentive not authorized etc. Those are benefits. Schedule: "Work Schedule: M-F 7:30am-4:00pm Compressed/Flexible: Available". That's specific. Thus we will have sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Now craft HTML. We'll start with

        Responsibilities

        then
          with each duty as
        • . The duties list is long; we need to copy each sentence as separate
        • . Ensure we preserve all details. Let's extract duties from the text: "Duties Conducts comprehensive psychological assessments and formulates diagnostic impressions using standardized and clinically appropriate methodsDelivers evidence-based and evidence-informed psychotherapy for mental health - substance use - behavioral - and psychosocial concerns within granted clinical privilegesCompletes all required clinical documentation and charting in accordance with healthcare system timelines - quality standards - and accreditation requirementsProvides clinical supervision - guidance - and education to assigned staff and trainees involved in psychological service deliveryServes as a resource to other professional personnel by offering consultation regarding psychological services and treatment planningOffers education to patients - patients' family members - professional staff - and trainees on mental health conditions and treatment approachesPerforms risk assessments for self-harm or harm to others and implements suicide prevention and crisis management proceduresFunctions as a contributing member of multidisciplinary medical and mental health teams in inpatient - outpatient - or specialty care settingsParticipates in performance improvement and quality assurance activities relevant to psychological services and assigned clinical programsAbides by the ethical principles addressed by psychology licensing boardsSupports and/or participates in scientific activityMay serve on internal and external committeesWorks with Veterans and families who are experiencing a variety of psychiatric - medical - and social problems utilizing evidence-based treatments in an individual - group - and family capacityEngages in information gathering - problem identification - diagnosis - treatment planning - implementation - evaluation - and follow-upFully utilizes the current DSM in making diagnoses - formulating treatment goals - and applying appropriate clinical interventions using professional counseling practicesMakes professional evaluations - decisions - and recommendations for treatment planning and implementationConducts psychological and/or neuropsychological assessmentsProvides screening - assessment - diagnosis - and treatment of cognitive deficits to address specific questions or to determine is a referral for a complete neuropsychological evaluation or dementia assessment is neededPerforms assessments when there are questions about a Veteran's ability to make medical decisions - perform other specific functions - or live independentlyAssesses the understanding of advance directives and other forms of consent and assists staff in determining how to present options and other such material in a format they can understandTreats modalities including individual - family - and group psychotherapies - and other interventions they are competent to provideThey consult with medical center staff on a wide variety of patient care issues related to disability - medical conditions - and other life transitionsProvides psychological prevention services to Veterans at significant risk for psychological problemsDelivers services both in person and via VTelUtilizes a wide variety of individual - group - or family counseling interventions" We need to split into sensible items. Probably each sentence separated by a period. We'll create
        • for each. Now Qualifications: We need to include all details: Basic Requirements (citizenship, education, internships, licensure, English language proficiency, driver's license, grandfathering provision). Also Grade Determinations (GS-11, GS-12, GS-13). Also maybe "Preferred Experience" etc. We'll break into
          • each major bullet. We must preserve the exact wording? Might be okay to keep as is.
