Travel Physical Therapist - Acute Care Hospital - $2,584 per week
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have real content.
From posting:
- About the role: description of job, setting, details. Could be "About the role" section.
- Responsibilities: listed: patient evaluation, plan of care development, reassessments, discharge planning, home exercise program instruction, patient and family education.
- Requirements: active CA PT license, BLS certification, minimum 1 year recent PT experience, acute care setting experience, experience with AROM/AAROM/PROM, assistive devices, body mechanics, pain assessment, skin integrity, strength testing, vital sign monitoring, Epic charting experience preferred, 2 supervisory references covering 1 year of employment within last 3 years required.
- Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? But we can treat "Requirements" as qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content.
We have details about shift, hours, start date, duration: could go under Schedule (or maybe "Schedule" section). Also Pay: mentions "Pay package is based on 8 hour shifts and 40.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined." That's vague but it's still some pay info. It says tax-free stipend amount to be determined. That's not a specific number, but it's still mention of pay. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state pay package based on 8 hour shifts and 40 hours per week with tax-free stipend amount to be determined. That's stating something about pay, albeit not specific. Should we include? It says "subject to confirmation" and "tax-free stipend amount to be determined". That's still some content. I'd include a Pay section with that sentence.
Schedule: we have shift: Days, 5x8hrs, Tuesday-Saturday 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM, 40 hrs/wk, start date Oct 6, 2026, length 13 weeks. That's schedule info. So include Schedule.
Benefits: posting mentions American Traveler offers exceptional benefits, including premium medical, dental, vision and life insurance beginning day one, generous 401(k) match, substantial housing stipends, more. Also 24/7 support, in-house clinicians. That's benefits. So include Benefits.
Skills: maybe we can list specific skills like Epic EMR, assistive devices, etc. But we already have requirements covering skills. Could create Skills section for things like "Epic charting experience preferred", "Experience with AROM/AAROM/PROM, assistive devices, body mechanics, pain assessment, skin integrity, strength testing, vital sign monitoring". However those are already in requirements. Might be redundant but we can still include if we think it's substantive. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine skills into Requirements or Qualifications. We'll not create a separate Skills section unless we have distinct skill list not covered elsewhere. We have skills mentioned in requirements; we can keep them there.
Qualifications: maybe we can treat as same as Requirements. But we need to decide which headings to use. The list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to use About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. Qualifications and Skills omitted.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can drop them or put in short p. We'll drop.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We must preserve all substantive information. Need to include details: setting (Acute Care Hospital, 212 staffed beds), patient population, conditions treated, equipment used, Epic EMR, may float between sister facilities, free parking, first-time travelers accepted, local candidates within 50-mile radius accepted at local rate, former Providence permanent staff must wait 3 months before returning as traveler and must be outside 50-mile radius, must commit to working 3 of the 5 major holidays, RTO requests must be submitted upfront at time of application; post-offer requests may not be accommodated. Also mention "Openings: 1". Also "Assignment Overview" details.
We need to embed all that.
Let's craft sections:

under About the role or as a separate section? There's no heading like "About the company". We could just add a
after the sections, but that would be stray content not under a heading. The instruction says to use headings for sections; but we can have
outside headings? It didn't forbid. It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can have prose paragraphs not under a heading? It says use
