Is radiology fellowship required?

Current PGY1. Interested in practicing radiology in a rural or semi-rural area. Wondering if I would abolutely need a fellowship?

FWIW, I will be at an academic radiology residency program, but gonna try to bust my ass so I can become competent and independent over the next 4 years.

Reason I ask is bc most Rads read everything anyway. Would I take any hit on compensation if I decided to not do a fellowship?
