Surgery Scheduling Specialist - Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists,
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat job title as heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
5. Preserve ALL substantive information
4. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
5. Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it
6. Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
7. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
8. Output ONLY HTML fragment - no /, no markdown code fences
Let me parse the content:
- Organization description (Vanderbilt Health) - this is "About the role" or similar
- Organization: OTO Non-Clinical
- Job Summary: Coordinates with patients, physicians, and operating room to schedule surgeries...
- Position Hours: Monday - Friday Days
- Department Summary: Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center's Otolaryngology team...
- Key Responsibilities: list of duties
- Technical Capabilities: list of capabilities with levels
- Professional administrative functions description
- Core Accountabilities: Organizational Impact, Problem Solving, Breadth of Knowledge, Team Interaction
- Core Capabilities: Supporting Colleagues, Delivering Excellent Services, Ensuring High Quality, Managing Resources Effectively, Fostering Innovation
- Position Qualifications: Responsibilities, Certifications, Work Experience, Education
- Benefits mention: "comprehensive benefits package which may include health, disability, retirement and/or wellness offerings"
- EEO statement at end
Now, I need to structure this into sections. The rules say to use specific section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Let me map:
- "About the role" could include the Job Summary, Department Summary, Position Hours
- "Responsibilities" for Key Responsibilities
- "Skills" for Technical Capabilities
- "Qualifications" for Position Qualifications (Work Experience, Education)
- "Benefits" for the benefits mention (though it's vague - "may include health, disability, retirement and/or wellness offerings")
- "Schedule" for Position Hours (Monday - Friday Days)
The Core Accountabilities and Core Capabilities seem like they could be part of "Qualifications" or "Skills" or maybe a separate section. But the rules say to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. I'll include them under "Qualifications" or maybe "Requirements".
The rules say: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them."
The posting states Position Hours: Monday - Friday Days, so Schedule section is warranted.
Benefits: "comprehensive benefits package which may include health, disability, retirement and/or wellness offerings" - this is somewhat specific, so I'll include Benefits section.
Pay: not mentioned, so no Pay section.
Now, I need to remove boilerplate: "Vanderbilt Health is committed to fostering an environment where everyone has the chance to thrive and is committed to the principles of equal opportunity. EOE/Vets/Disabled." - this is EEO boilerplate, remove.
Also remove duplicated lines? There's "Responsibilities:" listed twice? In Position Qualifications it says "Responsibilities:" but then lists Certifications, Work Experience, Education. That seems like a formatting artifact. I'll treat Position Qualifications as the qualifications section.
Also "Our professional administrative functions include critical supporting roles..." is generic Vanderbilt description, maybe keep as part of About the role.
Let me structure:
About the role
Job Summary: Coordinates with patients, physicians, and operating room to schedule surgeries with minimal guidance. Facilitates efficient workflow, supports appropriate use of technology, and fosters effective communication.
Position Hours: Monday - Friday Days
Department
? But the rules say use specific headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Department" is not in the list. But the Department Summary is substantive. Could include under About the role.
I'll include Department Summary under About the role.
Responsibilities
- ... each bullet
Skills
- Patient Scheduling (Intermediate): ...
etc.
Qualifications
- Work Experience: 2 years relevant work experience
- Education: High School Diploma or GED
- Certifications: (none specified? The Position Qualifications lists "Certifications:" but no content. Might be empty. I'll omit if not specified.)
Also Core Accountabilities and Core Capabilities could be under Qualifications or a separate "Requirements" section. The rules list "Requirements" as a possible heading. I'll use "Requirements" for Core Accountabilities and Core Capabilities.
But the rules say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine.
Let me decide on sections:
1. About the role (includes Job Summary, Department Summary, Position Hours)
2. Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities)
3. Skills (Technical Capabilities)
4. Requirements (Core Accountabilities and Core Capabilities)
5. Qualifications (Work Experience, Education)
6. Benefits (benefits package mention)
7. Schedule (Position Hours) - but Position Hours already in About the role. Could have separate Schedule section. The rules say Schedule is a heading option. Since Position Hours is specific, I'll include Schedule section.
But note: "Position Hours Monday - Friday Days" is already in About the role. Could duplicate or move to Schedule. I'll include in both? Better to have Schedule section with that info.
Let me write the HTML.
I need to be careful: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)" - the job title isn't explicitly given, but "OTO Non-Clinical" might be organization. The job summary describes a surgery scheduler role. I won't include a title heading.
Also "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings" - none present.
Now, write HTML fragment.
I'll start with About the role:
