The use of medical simulators for training technical and diagnostic skills has rapidly increased over the past decade. Yet, most available medical simulators have not been developed based on a structured evaluation of their intended uses but rather out of expected commercial value. Moreover, educators often struggle to access simulators because of cost or because no simulators have been developed for a particular procedure. In this report, we introduce “the V-model” as a conceptual framework to illustrate how simulator development can be guided by the intended uses in an iterative fashion. Applying a needs-based conceptual framework when developing simulators is important to increase the accessibility and sustainability of simulation-based medical education. It will minimize the developmental barriers and costs, while at the same time improving educational outcomes. Two new simulators for invasive ultrasound-guided procedures are used as examples, the chorionic villus sampling model and the ultrasound-guided aspiration trainer. Our conceptual framework and the use cases can serve as a template for future simulator development and documentation hereof.
