Surgical Technologist
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: The first lines "Position Summary EMPLOYER-PAID PENSION PLAN ( NEVADA PERS) COMPETITIVE SALARY & BENEFITS PACKAGE" includes benefits mention? Actually it's a line: "Position Summary EMPLOYER-PAID PENSION PLAN ( NEVADA PERS) COMPETITIVE SALARY & BENEFITS PACKAGE". That seems like a heading with benefits info. It mentions employer-paid pension plan and competitive salary & benefits package. That is substantive about benefits and pay? It mentions pension plan and competitive salary & benefits but not specific numbers. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state "EMPLOYER-PAID PENSION PLAN (NEVADA PERS) COMPETITIVE SALARY & BENEFITS PACKAGE". That's a statement about benefits and salary being competitive but not specific. It's vague but still states benefits exist. Should we include a Benefits section? The rule says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits package and pension plan. However also says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). Here it's "competitive salary & benefits package" which is vague but not placeholder like "varies". It's still somewhat generic but it's a statement. I'd include a Benefits section with that sentence.
Pay: not specific salary amount, just "competitive salary". That's also vague but it's stating salary is competitive. Might be considered placeholder? The rule says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". "competitive salary" is similar but maybe acceptable. Safer to not create Pay section unless explicit number. I'd omit Pay section.
Schedule: not mentioned besides flexibility to work days, evenings, night shifts, weekends. That's schedule info. Could include Schedule section? The rule: only if posting actually states them. It does state flexibility to work shifts. That's schedule. Could include Schedule section with that bullet.
But we already have shift flexibility in Additional Position Requirements. Could incorporate into Requirements.
We need to decide sections: About the role (position summary paragraphs), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education/experience, licensing/certification, shift flexibility, knowledge/skills/abilities, physical requirements). Benefits (employer-paid pension plan, competitive salary & benefits package). That seems reasonable.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:
Position Summary (first block): "As an academic medical center with a rich history of providing life-saving treatment in Southern Nevada, UMC serves as the anchor hospital of the Las Vegas Medical District, offering Nevada’s highest level of care to promote successful medical outcomes for patients. UMC is home to a Level I Trauma Center, Verified Burn Center, and Transplant Center. In 2026, we became the FIRST and ONLY Magnet®-Recognized hospital in the state, reflecting UMC's nursing professionalism, teamwork, and superiority in patient care."
Then "Position Summary: Assists surgeons throughout surgery as a member of the surgical team. Duties include anticipating the surgeon's needs for procedures and instruments, maintaining sterility and transporting patients."
We could combine these as About the role (first paragraph) and Responsibilities (second). Or we could have About the role include both? But we need Responsibilities separate.
Let's create:
About the role
As an academic medical center with a rich history of providing life-saving treatment in Southern Nevada, UMC serves as the anchor hospital of the Las Vegas Medical District, offering Nevada’s highest level of care to promote successful medical outcomes for patients. UMC is home to a Level I Trauma Center, Verified Burn Center, and Transplant Center. In 2026, we became the FIRST and ONLY Magnet®-Recognized hospital in the state, reflecting UMC's nursing professionalism, teamwork, and superiority in patient care.
Responsibilities
Assists surgeons throughout surgery as a member of the surgical team. Duties include anticipating the surgeon's needs for procedures and instruments, maintaining sterility and transporting patients.
Now Requirements: We'll have Education/Experience, Licensing/Certification, Additional Position Requirements (shift flexibility), Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Physical Requirements.
We can make a Requirements
and inside have for each category? Or we can have multiple under same heading. The rule: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple lists.
Let's extract:
Education/Experience: "Equivalent to graduation from high school and graduation from an accredited program for surgical technologist or completed a training program administered by the United States Public Health Service, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard."
Licensing/Certification Requirements: "Certified Surgical Technologist by the National Board of Surgical Technology. Basic Life Support (BLS) certification accepted by the American Heart Association (AHA)."
Additional Position Requirements Preferences will be given to applicants who document the following: "The ability and flexibility to workdays, evenings, night shifts, and/or weekends as required by the needs of the department and the available shift at hire"
Knowledge Of: list many items.
Skill In: list.
Physical Requirements And Working Conditions: list.
We'll combine Knowledge, Skills, Abilities into one list? Could separate but might be many thin sections. Better to have one Requirements section with subheadings? But we cannot use headings other than h3? The instruction only says use h3 for section headings. It doesn't forbid other headings inside? It says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those specific headings. So we should stick to those headings only. So we cannot add subheadings like Knowledge Of etc. We'll need to embed those as list items under Requirements.
Thus Requirements section will contain multiple
lists each preceded by maybe a describing the category? But we cannot add extra headings; we can use
for prose. So we can have a
Education/Experience:
then - ...
. Similarly for Licensing/Certification, Additional Position Requirements, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Physical Requirements.
Let's extract each list items.
Education/Experience items: single sentence but could be one li.
Licensing/Certification: two items: Certified Surgical Technologist by NBST; BLS certification accepted by AHA.
Additional Position Requirements: one item: ability and flexibility to work days, evenings, night shifts, and/or weekends as required.
Knowledge Of: many items separated by semicolons. We need to split into separate li items.
Let's parse Knowledge Of list:
"Anatomy and physiology; microbiology; pharmacology; medical-legal considerations involved in patient care; infection control and sterilization procedures; surgical equipment, instruments and supplies; methods for draping patients; proper lifting techniques; environmental safety principles and procedures; variety of surgical techniques; body mechanics; a variety of equipment, varying according to specialty (video systems, lithotripter (ESWL & EHL), YAG, carbon dioxide lasers and x-rays); department and hospital safety practices and procedures; patient rights; infection control policies and procedures; handling, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials; department and hospital emergency response policies and procedures; age specific patient care practices."
We'll split by semicolon, each becomes li.
Skill In list:
"Operating room procedures; setting up and restocking operating room; surgical procedures; identifying patient emergency situations and instituting proper response procedures; communicating with a wide variety of people from diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds under stressful conditions; establishing and maintaining effective working relationships with all personnel contacted in the course of duties; efficient, effective and safe use of equipment."
Split similarly.
Physical Requirements And Working Conditions list:
"Mobility to work in a typical clinical setting and use standard equipment, stamina to remain standing and/or walk for extended periods of time, strength to examine varied patients, vision to read printed materials and VDT screens, and hearing and speech to communicate effectively in-person and over the telephone. Strength and agility to exert up to 100 pounds of force occasionally, and/or up to 50 pounds of force frequently, and/or up to 20 pounds of force constantly to move objects. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this classification."
We need to split into sensible items. Could treat each sentence as li, or split by commas? Better to keep as prose? But rule: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of requirements, so we should list each distinct requirement. We can break by sentences.
Sentence1: "Mobility to work in a typical clinical setting and use standard equipment, stamina to remain standing and/or walk for extended periods of time, strength to examine varied patients, vision to read printed materials and VDT screens, and hearing and speech to communicate effectively in-person and over the telephone."
That's a long sentence with multiple items separated by commas. Could split further but maybe keep as one li.
Sentence2: "Strength and agility to exert up to 100 pounds of force occasionally, and/or up to 50 pounds of force frequently, and/or up to 20 pounds of force constantly to move objects."
Sentence3: "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this classification."
We'll make three li.
Now Benefits section: we have "EMPLOYER-PAID PENSION PLAN (NEVADA PERS) COMPETITIVE SALARY & BENEFITS PACKAGE". We'll make a
Benefits
and Employer-paid pension plan (Nevada PERS); competitive salary & benefits package.
maybe.
We should not include Pay or Schedule sections.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Did we miss anything? The initial line "Position Summary EMPLOYER-PAID PENSION
for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: The first lines "Position Summary EMPLOYER-PAID PENSION PLAN ( NEVADA PERS) COMPETITIVE SALARY & BENEFITS PACKAGE" includes benefits mention?
