USA Physician Included in 40 Under 40

Surgical oncologist Dr. Carlo Contreras, assistant professor of surgery at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, was recently selected to be included in the 2011 class of the Mobile Bay 40 Under 40.

The annual Mobile Bay 40 Under 40 awards identify 40 of the area’s young professionals who will benefit the community for years to come with their leadership, professional excellence and community service.

Dr. Contreras said he was honored to be selected as one of this year’s 40 Under 40.

“In such a vibrant community with so many young, successful leaders, receiving this nomination was unexpected, but welcome,” he said. “My individual recognition is really made possible by all the individuals that collaborate with me at USA and all of our other partners within the Mobile community.”

Dr. Contreras was presented a plaque at the awards luncheon on Nov. 30, 2011, at the Riverview Hotel in Mobile.

Those who were chosen to be included in 40 Under 40 will be featured in the December issue of Mobile Bay.
