The expected impact of the 2021 AURORA Exchange Fair event is that members' knowledge of Bioethics and Intercultural Learning in Research Exchange and SCOPE and Basic Exchange increases through training, measured through higher pre to post-test scores. In addition, it is hoped that medical students' enthusiasm from 7 medical faculties in Surabaya through talk shows on live Instagram, podcasts on Spotify, Artstep, roadshows, and campaign series on Instagram escalated over three weeks by the number of AF purchases.
From the background of AURORA, the importance of student exchange programs for medical students is supported by primary data obtained from questionnaires validated by RSD team CIMSA UNAIR. The majority (98,6%) of respondents are interested in joining student exchange programs. However, 92,8% of all respondents do not know the student exchange program registration and selection process. Therefore, the implementation of the Exchange Fair 2021 is essential. The series of events given, starting from podcasts, roadshows, virtual exhibitions, member upgrading, and talk shows, is expected to be in line with increasing medical students' interest in participating in student exchange programs.
