Do they sound fine in your opinion?

Hi all,
I would kindly ask someone to check those sentences for accuracy... I wanted them to sound as natural as possible in English, but I am not sure whether I succeeded in the task.. Can you help? Thank you very much!

"The preceding orientating and the following reflective discussion about the treatment process were part of the clinical discourse, in which veterinary students described the rural veterinarian job according to their own conceptions."

"The description of the discussion between veterinary students and their teachers revealed discourses manifested only in special occasions, both dominating the interaction and disappearing in the background."

"mistakes and learning from them turned out to be an essential part of the veterinary education both in the students’ narratives and in my own diary entries"
