Dr. Maya Okafor, PharmD, BCPS

Dr. Maya Okafor is a board-certified clinical pharmacist (BCPS) whose work over twelve years has spanned hospital sterile-compounding pharmacy, ambulatory diabetes clinics, and academic medication-safety research. On the InjectCompass advisory panel her primary remit is the math: she reads every reconstitution worked example, every concentration table, every storage-temperature claim against the USP monograph and the manufacturer label, and flags any drift. Her published work focuses on patient-facing communication of sterile-preparation risks, and she teaches a continuing-education seminar on home reconstitution practices for nurse educators. Dr. Okafor holds her PharmD from the University of Texas at Austin, completed her PGY-1 residency at Parkland Health, and maintains active pharmacist licenses in Texas and Illinois. She reports no financial relationships with peptide vendors, compounding pharmacies, or pharmaceutical manufacturers.
