TED Talk

As a medical clown, TED Resident Matthew A. Wilson takes the old adage that laughter is the best medicine very seriously. In this heartwarming talk, he shares glimpses of how clowning around can help patients (and medical staff) navigate stressful situations -- with no side effects.

The TED Organization awarded Mr. Wilson a highly competitive residency at their headquarters in New York City, which culminated in giving his talk on the TED stage.
