This clinic is a leader in the training of human resources devoted to the care of elderly people. CITED, as a specialized center, it is responsible for the introduction, development, validation and generalization of clinical, surgical, diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in Gerontology and Geriatrics.

The development of geriatric surgery with an emphasis on high-risk elderly is among the strategic objectives.
