In 1999, Dr. Maclin was accepted into the then UT Southwestern Affiliate, JPS Family Medicine residency program, the largest family practice program in the country at that time. She continued to practice at JPS as an attending physician and later as Medical Director. In 2008, she resigned from JPS to pursue a solo practice which included house calls and wellness programs.
