Today’s  guest is Dr. Neil Meehan, the Chief Physician Executive of Exeter  Health Resources. Dr. Meehan is a board-certified Emergency Medicine  physician, and was the driving force behind the creation of the New  Hampshire Physician Leadership Development Program, a joint effort  between the New Hampshire Medical Society, the New Hampshire Hospital  Association, and the University of New Hampshire.In this podcast we discuss Dr. Meehan’s own journey from living in a  music studio above a peanut butter factory through medical school,  residency, and his own development as a physician leader.
