FDA approval standards are rigorous before a generic drug is approved. According to the FDA, generic drugs must be "pharmaceutically equivalent" to brand-name drugs.

We were delighted to have St George's University students for a 6-week work placement with us at CGX training. We were thrilled to work with St George’s University again after our inspiring day with them in February at their Dragons’ Den assessment day.

The students had a fantastic time with us, provided some very positive feedback and learnt a great deal about what’s involved on a day-to-day basis in the clinical trials sector.

The students also enrolled on CGX Training's Clinical Trial Assistant (CTA) course to give them further insight in the industry.

Here’s what one of the students had to say: "CGX provided flexible and adaptable work. The skills that we learnt covered presentation and public speaking skills, IT and administrative skills, critical thinking, team work, organisation skills".

At CGX, we’re always looking to provide opportunities for young people, If you or an organisation you’re a part of is interested, get in touch with us today - https://bit.ly/3H7ohym
