We are an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
We need to remove EEO boilerplate, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: Could be the opening paragraph about volunteering and being part of organization? Or maybe "Job Summary". The posting includes "Job Summary And Qualifications". We can treat "About the role" as a short paragraph summarizing role: The Surgical First Assist assists the surgeon in exposure, hemostasis, and other technical functions during the surgical procedure. Initiates appropriate intra-operative behaviors unique to first assisting. Applies knowledge of surgical anatomy, physiology, and operative technique relative to operative procedures. Maintains a sterile environment.
- Responsibilities: Could be same as above? Actually responsibilities are the duties. We can list them as bullet list: assists surgeon in exposure, hemostasis, other technical functions; initiates appropriate intra-operative behaviors unique to first assisting; applies knowledge of surgical anatomy, physiology, operative technique; maintains sterile environment.
- Requirements: The POSITION QUALIFICATIONS list: High School Diploma/GED; BLS certification; Completion of Accredited CSTFA Education Program preferred; TN Surgical Assistant Certification; At least 3 years’ experience. Also "In addition to Surgical Technologist Requirements:" maybe we can include that as part of requirements.
- Qualifications: Might be overlapping with requirements. The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where. Since the posting lumps qualifications as requirements, we could put them under Requirements. Qualifications could be maybe "Surgical First Assistant" but not separate. Could combine.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed. Could infer from responsibilities: knowledge of surgical anatomy, physiology, operative technique; ability to assist surgeon; maintain sterile environment. But we should not invent details. If not explicitly stated, we should not create a Skills section unless there is real specific content. The posting does not have a separate skills list. So we should omit Skills section.
- Benefits: We have a detailed list. So include Benefits section with bullet list.
- Pay: Not mentioned. No pay info. So omit Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned (FT Days maybe indicates full-time days? The posting starts with "FT Days". That could be schedule: Full-time days. It says "FT Days". That likely indicates full-time day shift. That is schedule info. Should we include Schedule section? The posting includes "FT Days" at very start. That is a schedule indicator. It's specific: FT Days = full-time days. So we can include Schedule section with that info. However we need to check rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states "FT Days". So we can include Schedule with that.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe from opening paragraph), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule.
We could also include Qualifications if we want to separate but we can combine with Requirements. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule.
Now we need to format.
Use

However we need to check rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states "FT Days". So we can include Schedule with that.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe from opening paragraph), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule.
We could also include Qualifications if we want to separate but we can combine with Requirements. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule.
Now we need to format.
Use for each section heading.
Under each heading, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
Opening: "FT Days Last year our HCA Healthcare colleagues invested over 156,000 hours volunteering in our communities. As a(an) Surgical First Assistant with TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center you can be a part of an organization that is devoted to giving back!"
We need to keep that as About the role? It includes FT Days (schedule) and volunteering statement. But we also have Schedule section separate. Maybe we should put FT Days in Schedule, and the volunteering statement in About the role.
Thus About the role: "Last year our HCA Healthcare colleagues invested over 156,000 hours volunteering in our communities. As a Surgical First Assistant with TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center you can be a part of an organization that is devoted to giving back!"
Note: The original had "As a(an)" with parentheses; we can correct to "As a". Keep meaning.
Now Responsibilities: bullet list from Position Summary.
- Assists the surgeon in exposure, hemostasis, and other technical functions during the surgical procedure.
- Initiates appropriate intra-operative behaviors unique to first assisting.
- Applies knowledge of surgical anatomy, physiology, and operative technique relative to operative procedures.
- Maintains a sterile environment.
Now Requirements: list from POSITION QUALIFICATIONS.
- High School Diploma/GED
- BLS certification
- Completion of Accredited CSTFA Education Program preferred
- TN Surgical Assistant Certification
- At least 3 years’ experience
Also maybe "In addition to Surgical Technologist Requirements:" but that's just phrasing; we can ignore.
Now Benefits: list from Benefits paragraph.
We need to break into bullet items.
The benefits paragraph: "TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center, offers a total rewards package that supports the health, life, career and retirement of our colleagues. The available plans and programs include: Comprehensive benefits for medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, behavioral health and telemedicine services Wellbeing support, including free counseling and referral services Time away from work programs for paid time off, paid family leave, long- and short-term disability coverage and leaves of absence Savings and retirement resources, including a 401(k) Plan with a 100% match on 3% to 9% of pay (based on years of service), Employee Stock Purchase Plan, flexible spending accounts, preferred banking partnerships, retirement readiness tools, rollover support and financial wellbeing counseling Education support through tuition assistance, student loan assistance, certification support, dependent scholarships and a partnership with Galen College of Nursing Additional benefits for fertility and family building, adoption assistance, life insurance, supplemental health protection plans, auto and home insurance, legal counseling, identity theft protection and consumer discounts Learn More About Employee Benefits Note: Eligibility for benefits may vary by location."
We need to create bullet list items for each major category.
Let's parse:
- Comprehensive benefits for medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, behavioral health and telemedicine services
- Wellbeing support, including free counseling and referral services
- Time away from work programs for paid time off, paid family leave, long- and short-term disability coverage and leaves of absence
- Savings and retirement resources, including a 401(k) Plan with a 100% match on 3% to 9% of pay (based on years of service), Employee Stock Purchase Plan, flexible spending accounts, preferred banking partnerships, retirement readiness tools, rollover support and financial wellbeing counseling
- Education support through tuition assistance, student loan assistance, certification support, dependent scholarships and a partnership with Galen College of Nursing
- Additional benefits for fertility and family building, adoption assistance, life insurance, supplemental health protection plans, auto and home insurance, legal counseling, identity theft protection and consumer discounts
Note: "Learn More About Employee Benefits" is a link; we can drop.
Note about eligibility varying by location: we can include as a short paragraph after list.
Now Schedule: "FT Days". Could phrase as "Full-time day shift". We'll keep as "FT Days". Provide as
FT Days
. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We are not. Now produce HTML fragment. We need to output only HTML, no markdown fences. Let's craft:About the role
