I am looking for some feedback on a secondary. I'm looking online but I have never been to Indiana. Any ideas on why to practice in Indiana?

Well, who would want to practice there? Certainly not someone who lives there, has family there, sees the state's need for physicians or who would want to practice primary care in rural or somewhat urban areas.

Sarcasm aside, be honest in your secondaries. If you don't see yourself practicing in Indiana, then perhaps you don't fit the school's mission. If you don't care where you end up after graduation, then word that nicely in your secondary and say that you might consider Indiana your future home.

And if nothing else, you could just say you love CORN.

And soybeans.

Having married an Hoosier, I know about these things:
Indy 500
Hoosier National Forest is beautiful in fall
Proximity to St Louis, Cincy, Chicago and Detroit
Notre Dame if you like football
Any college if you like basketball (actually, it's a requirement for state residency)
Fiddlers (that's souther IN cuisine)
Ohio and Wabash rivers if you like boating
The people are really friendly, they wave to you if they're driving by you and you walking along the road.
Dirt cheap real estate
If you're from a rural area, lots of those in IN

Plus Indianapolis is a pretty fun city with a good variety of things to do/places to see/cuisines to eat.

Especially this place when you're longing for a NY bagel!

Nope. I became an assimilated IU fan, though.

Wanted to add proximity to Nashville and Louisville as well. Also, the state as a whole might be called Fly Over Country to some. Second the Friendliness.

... I miss the corn and soybeans.
