Statement of Physician – Can’t get appointment with primary doctor

So, I go to school out of state and will not be able to see my primary doctor to get the Statement of Physician filled out before the application deadline (the form for the current application year was not available at the time of my last appointment). Given this, do I need to find a new physician in my area to fill out the form in person? Or is it sufficient for my primary doctor to send back a scanned copy?
