Michael Eid

I’m a dental student at LECOM SDM with a passion for merging the worlds of business and medicine.

With years of experience in dropshipping and marketing, I bring an entrepreneurial spirit to my dental journey, constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance patient care.

As a key orientation leader for igniteDDS—a program dedicated to guiding and empowering new dental students through hands-on learning, mentorship, and leadership development—I have the privilege of shaping the next generation of dental professionals.

Beyond dentistry, I’m deeply passionate about fitness and nutrition, believing that a healthy lifestyle is the cornerstone of success in both personal and professional endeavors.
