Hannah Rose Calvelli, MD, MAUB

About Dr. Calvelli

Hannah Calvelli is a PGY-1 categorical general surgery resident from Flemington, New Jersey. She received her BA in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from Rutgers University and graduated summa cum laude as a Presidential Scholar. As a medical student, Hannah pursued a dual MD, MAUB (Master of Arts in Urban Bioethics) at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, where she explored the bioethical challenges facing patients who are incarcerated. Her research interests include ethical issues in surgical care, disparities within the carceral health system, and the relationship between health equity and surgical outcomes. She plans to pursue a career in academic surgery with clinical interests in colorectal surgery and trauma/critical care.
