After his initial training, Seifert practiced emergency medicine from 1977 to 2001 and was certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine, maintaining that certification for 30 years.{{Cite journal |url=https://journals.lww.com/em-news/blog/BreakingNews/Pages/post.aspx?PostID=311 |title=Emergency Physicians Reach Milestone |journal=Emergency Medicine News|date=July 20, 2015 |last1=Katz |first1=Alissa }} After completing his Medical Toxicology fellowship, Seifert served on the staff of the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center in Tucson, after which he served as the Medical Director of the Nebraska Poison Center in Omaha. In 2003, he helped to save the Nebraska Poison Center from closure, moving it into the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and became the inaugural Medical Director of the reborn Nebraska Regional Poison Center.{{Cite web |url=https://www.unmc.edu/news.cfm?match=1097 |title=Governor announces partnership to retain a Poison Center in Nebraska |website=UNMC Newsroom|date=2003-10-07}} In 2005, he developed and chaired “Snakebites in the New Millennium,” a progenitor meeting of the Venom Week Symposiums. He also chaired Venom Week III in 2009 and co-chaired the combined Venom Week IV/International Society on Toxinology meeting in 2012. In 2006, under a DHHS/HRSA Grant, he was part of the team that created the web-based Antivenom Index, a resource for zoos to document their holdings of antivenoms to non-native species and for clinicians to locate those antivenoms to treat exotic envenomations.{{Cite web |url=https://app1.unmc.edu/publicaffairs/todaysite/sitefiles/today_full.cfm?match=2906 |title=New web-based Antivenom Index now available |last=Vehrs |first=Kristin |website=University of Nebraska Medical Center |date=2006-08-15}} In 2007, he became the Medical Director of the New Mexico Poison and Drug Information Center. Much of Seifert's academic work has been in the field of envenomations and antivenoms. He was an investigator in a number of clinical trials of antivenoms that resulted in FDA-licensed pharmaceuticals.{{Cite journal |url=https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/648884 |title=A randomized multicenter trial of crotalinae polyvalent immune Fab (ovine) antivenom for the treatment for crotaline snakebite in the United States. |journal=Archives of Internal Medicine |date=2001|doi=10.1001/archinte.161.16.2030 |last1=Dart |first1=Richard C. |last2=Seifert |first2=Steven A. |last3=Boyer |first3=Leslie V. |last4=Clark |first4=Richard F. |last5=Hall |first5=Edward |last6=McKinney |first6=Patrick |last7=McNally |first7=Jude |last8=Kitchens |first8=Craig S. |last9=Curry |first9=Steven C. |last10=Bogdan |first10=Gregory M. |last11=Ward |first11=Suzanne B. |last12=Porter |first12=R.
