How to structure my site

You would setup the /doctors/smith/edit URI routing the same way you did the other.

Code:

$route['doctors/:any/edit'] = 'doctors/edit';

The miracle (curse?) or URI routing is you have to do it with everything that begins with your defined URI. For example, if you had 'doctors/list' - Code Igniter wouldn't know what to do with it now that you have started re-writing that URI. You will have to define this route in your URI routing.

Remember, routing is done from the top to the bottom (and I have had experiences where the top-most route doesn't work - anyone else?).

As for your header/footer - that is one way to go about it.
