World Synergy is pleased to announce its partnership with Block Buddy, having recently released a new and improved mobile app for regional anesthesia education, Block Buddy Pro. This interactive app focuses on providing ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block and Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) education to anesthesia providers.
