Residency in Geriatrics (RGE)

Today, in Mexico, there are 420 geriatricians who comply with the requirements demanded by educational and health authorities and a population of almost nine million senior citizens. International recommendations suggest the existence of one geriatrician for every 2,500 senior citizens. The aforementioned figure for Mexico implies the existence of one geriatrician for every 22,000 senior citizens. Additionally, the group of the elderly is expected to grow faster than all other age groups over the next 40 years. Senior citizens show physiological changes and sicknesses with a high demand for human, social and economic resources. Tecnológico de Monterrey assumes the commitment to train Specialists in Geriatrics who have a humanistic vision and highly ethical principles, who are committed to the social, educational and economic development of their communities, who are competent on a world level and who are committed to the sustainable use of natural resources.
